About the author

Turia Pitt

Turia Pitt is living proof that, with the right mindset, anything is possible.

One of Australia’s most admired and widely recognised people, Turia has gone on to become a bestselling author, a two-time Ironman and a humanitarian - raising well over a million dollars for not-for-profit Interplast. Through her online presence, books and online programs, Turia has inspired millions to live with more confidence, conquer their fears and chase down their wildest dreams.

Praise for Unmasked Young Adult Edition

As difficult as the circumstances that Turia has faced, her advice for young readers is powerful and important, and because of her experience will echo through the emptiness of a self-centred culture.

Carolyn Hull, ReadPlus

An inspirational revelation of the triumph of will over adversity, with perceptive advice to teens in the Foreword, and helpful facts at the end.

Chloe Mauger, Magpies magazine

Turia outlines her philosophy for living life to the full, the lessons she has learnt and what is truly important. She encourages teenagers to have a similar mindset where their opinions of themselves are not dictated by social media and peer pressure. This is an optimistic, positive, feel-good book with great messages for the reader.

Lynne Babbage, CBCA Reading Time

The energy of Turia’s vibrant character shines through every page of this unflinchingly honest account of her journey and it is addictive reading.

Jo Seymour, The Daily Telegraph
